Fluffy chocolate cookies

I tend to bake a lot during the summer as its a time I can splurge a bit and consume a bit more sugar :P. Cookies are my all time favourite and this time, I went for the iconic chocolate cookie! The recipe originally says they should come out as bakery style brownie cookies. I was really excited for it as I love eating them, they are chewy and chocolaty. However, I didn’t quite get a brownie styled cookie and it turned out more of a fluffy, light cookie. I still like it as much as it turned out to be another style of cookie in stead of the chewy ones.

Photo first of course! They look gorgeous!Its so fluffy and crumbly.

Baking is one of my biggest hobbies and although this time it did not turn out as described in the recipe, I still enjoyed the cookie a lot. Baking is such a pleasant activity, all you focused are the recipe and the baking process. Not only can you do it with your friends, its also a great activity to relax and unwind yourself.
